LOINC description : The goal of the postural panels is to find out if the adrenal gland is sensing the
posture change and secreting increased levels of catecholamines appropriately during
the transition from supine to standing. This can help to diagnose syndromes of inherited
and acquired autonomic dysfunction or autonomic neuropathies which may show insufficient
release of catecholamines. On the other end of the spectrum are pheochromocytomas
and various neuroectodermal tumors which exhibit unregulated release of one or more
catecholamines.;
